The Chicago platform does net mission, will endeavor to make
the
sub-
jug is 1 ill-adapted to
roughness it will be
jected to under different eircum-
atances. It is an old saying
among pig breeders that mncii of
the fineness of form and early.;fat-
tening is dependent on the feed,
or as it is sometinJes phrased, “the
bread is in the horn crib.” It is
hot that good breeding is uuiM-
portant, but it needs to be supple
mented with least something of
the same care required to bring
the breed up to its present condi
tion.
The first step therefore,. in im
provement of farm stock is to
raise the standard of the farmers
inleligence. This is not so easy,
because it is practical rather than
merely theoretical knowledge that
is required. If the best Stock are
allowed to deteriorate through
lack of proper handling, feeding
and general management, it be
comes the most hopeless kind of
scrub. It is, therefore, if we look
at it rightly, not at all umeasona-
ble for men to refuse to buy or
grow superior breeds of animals
when they know that in their hands
the breed would run out and lose
most of its distinctive excellence.
They are the scrub farmers of
their neighborhood, and are only
good for stock of like character;
What a confession is this for
men unco.nciously; jet hone the
less really, to make! For back of
the excuse that the farmer “canhot
afford” to improve his stock is the
undoubted fact that for thousands
such attempted improvements
would be of little advantage in the
lend. The farmer who. is prUden
careful ami and industrious in oth
er branches of his business finds
the best stock a necessity. He can
not keep any other, for the rea
son that his methods will constant
ly tend to improve wliat he has,
and the improvement of the best
pays correspondingly better than
in any lower range. -
, The test of fitness to beep the
best stock lies in tlie ability to im
prove it. To make sUre of this
a great majority of farmers begin
their stock improvement by cross
ing or grading up with pure bred
animals having the desired charac
teristics. That is what no farmer
should fail to do if he is fit to keep
any stock whatever. And if is
equally true that unless he is able to
make his stock grow better lie is.
unfit for any branch of farming.
What profit the faamer makes
nowadays is mainly in tkelniprof e-
meht of his stock. The expense
of growing crops u sually eat up all
they can be. sold for. But if while
this is going on the farm stock is
being made more valuable; there
is a substantial J gain. If it is
growing poorer, tlie farmer is los
ing. On the good condition of his
stock and-the greater fertility of .
his soil the farmer must, now
mainly depend for his profits.

propose merely to defend protect-
tion as it now exists. It offers
a new scheme of increasing pro
tection so as to check imports) and
change the Republican war tariff
into a Chinese tariff. If the war
tariff that has grown up under the
influences of monopolies on Re
publican congresses to be so sa
cred a thing, why * ghodld it " be
more criminal in the Democrats to
J propose, modifications than for the
Republicans to do so? All that
the Democrats now ask through
the Mills bill is an anti-monopoly
reduction of seven per cent, in the
interests of American labor by
giving cheap materials to our man
ufactories and increasing our abil
ity to compete with rival coun
tries.
The first of all necessities—
which even even General Harrison
•scarcely ventures to deny—is that
that the accumulation of a surplus
in the. Treasury shuld be prevent
ed. The Democratic scheme of
tax revision makes, by - an enlarge
ment of the free list, a positive
and certain reduction to the extent
of $20,000,303) which would be an
absolute gain to American indus
try by giving them materials free
of taxes to the extent represented
and influenced -by that redaction.
An enlargement of the free list
effects a positive and sure diminu
tion of rejeipts. The result-of a
thange of schedule rates is inhe
rently a matter of conjecture, to
be solved only by experience. It
can only be judged by the light of
the operation of similar changes
in the past, and the history of
American tariff shows that such
alteration as the Democrats now
propose have always been benefic
ial to our industries and' com-
liierce.
General Harrison, who has been
permitted to talk about tariff and
surplus during the temporary ab
sence of his leader, Blaine, from
the stump, has had something to
say about the tariff issue being a
queistioli of prindipM) not of
schedules.lt isa matter of the ap
plication of principles to the for
mation of schedulet, and Harri
son’s attempt to place them in con
trast, is fery illogical nonsense.
To dispose of the sophistries of
Mr. Blaine in his latest line of ar
gument-, it is only necessary to
keep in mind the contrasting prop
ositions or Chicago and St. Louis.
The former is.for an increase of
monopoly rates, so as to prevent
all check through competition up-
dn extortionate prices; id a word,
a tariff for monopolies only; while
the St. Louis platform is for tariff
modifications in the interest of la
bor, so that our industries may
have less costly materials, our me
chanics better work, our mer
chants Wider markets and our con
sumers cheaper living necessi
ties.
your readers who may be fellow-
sufferers, sharers-in niy little dis
covery. It is now, I believe, gen
erally accepted, that our conscious,
daylight thinking processes . are
carried on iii tlie sinister -half of
our brains—i. e., in the lobe which
controls the action of the right arm
and leg. Pondering on the use of
the dexter half of the brain—pos
sible in all unconscioiis cerebra
tion, and in whatsoever may be
genuine of planbhette and spirit
rapping—I came to the conclusion
(shared, no doubt, by many others
better qualified as inquirers,) that
we dream with this lobe, apd that
the fantastic, immoral, sprite-like
character of dreams is, in some
way traceable to that fact.
The practical inference -then
struck me: to bring back sleep
when lost, we must quiet the con
scious, thinking, siiiistei' side of
our brain, and bring into activity
only the dream, side, the dexter
lobe. To do this the only plan I
could devise was to compel myself
to put aside every waking thought;
even soothing and pleasant ones,
and every offort cf daylight mem
ory, bdeh as counting numbers or
the repetition of easy flowing
verses, the latter having been my
not wholly unsuccessful practice
for jfiany ySars. Instead, 'of all
this I saw that I must think of a
dream, the more recent the-better,
and go over and over the scene it
presented. Armed with this idea,
the next time I found myself
awakening at 2 or 3 o’clock in the
morning, instead of merely trying
to banish painful thoughts, and re
peating, as v;as my habit, that rec-
ommendable soporific, “Paradise
and the Peri,” I reverted at once
to the dream from which I had
awakened, and tried to go on with
it. In a moment I" was asleep!
And from that time the experi
ment, often repeated, has scarcely
ever failed. Not seldoni. the re
sult is as sudden as the drop of a
curtain, and seems like a charm.
A friend to whom I have confided
My little discovery tells me that,
without auy preliminary theorizing
about tlie lobes of the brain, she
had hit upon the same plan to
produce sleep, and had found it

A desire to start manhood life
at the top and an unwillingness to
begin at the bottom is to day keep
ing multitudes of young men away
from both bottom and top.
They are hot willing to accept an
humble position at lidmble wages
and to work up the ladder of pro
motion,’forgetful that the founda
tion stone of success in all invoca-
cations of life is laid at the very
bottom, and the', best cement to
make secure these foundation
stones is the cement of experi
ence.
This if tlie Stone of stumbling
with many of the young men. Tb
remove it they must accent the
first opportunity for honorable
work that offers, no matter lio’w
humble and how unremunerative
may appear the wages. By right-
f ally, improving this, another oppor
tunity higher up the ladder will
soon be sent, and thus step by step
they will soon seach a pbint i where
their services will be in demand
and then will success. be with
in reach.
It is a sad mistake in the life of
any young man ivithoiit means and
employment to spurn and refuse
any honorable position because
perchance it might be an humble
one. Don’t be afraid or ashamed
of the bottom, boys, for there is
where the foundation stones are
laid.
Gotie After Water.

A story is Ibid on a Sunday
school teacher iri a certain back-
woods settlemenl*iu a neighboring
count} 7 , which is worth publishing.
She had a new class of young
scholars, the parents of which had
neglected to give them any in
struction in their catechism what
ever. Coming tb tlie first boy in
the. class she asked him who
made him. He did not know.
She told him God and urged him
to remember it. Of the next boy
sho asked who was the oldest man.
He did not know and the teacher
told him Methuselah. So she
went on down the class asking
each a question and giving them
{He answer.
W hile she was tiius engaged th§
first boy went to the bucket after
some water. The teacher return
ed to the head of the class, and
not knowing that any was absent
she asked the first boy Who made
him.
Without hesitation the '"boy
quickly replied, “Methuselah!”
“No,” exclaimed the teacher id
astonishment, “God made you!’
“No, he didn’t,” persisted the
urchin, with Confidence, “the boy
God made is gone after water. - ”

A gentleman now living in Ath
ens says that while in the Black
Hills seveaal years ago he knew a
miner there who had a claim 1,600
feet long long and 300 feet wide,
and he let it all go to a barkeeper
at one drink per foot. It did not
take tlie miner, many months to
drink up his claim, and afterward
a vein was struck on the claim and
it was sold for several millions of
dollars.
The Luxury of To-day-
Qnaaterlj - Bevievr.
Now, the growth of luxury for
the last half century has beon very
great and general. We do not
merely mean tha r t the rate of living
has 5 advanced. This of itself is
not necessarily to be deployed in
any class) and in some classes is. a
matter for serious congratulation.
That an agricultural laborer, for
instance, should be able to pro
cure more food, better clothing;
better housing, and better educa
tion for his children than he could
fifty years, ago, is a matter to re
joice over, and a state of things to
secure by every proper means.
What we mean is that the scale of
comfort deemed necessary by every
class has enormously grown. Take
the upper classes. The great
houses throughout the country are
administered in a style the increase
of vyhich is disproportionate to
the growth of the incomes of their
owners. The expenditure on far
fetched foods and most recherche
wines, the most costly amusements,
has vastly developed. And the
tendency is ever upward. Young
men beginning life try to start
where their fathers left off. Some
quarter of a century ago there was
a discussion in the newspapers as
to the prudence or otherwise of
young persons iii the upjier classbs
marrying on an income of $300 a
year) Three' times that sum
would now be considered inade
quate by the critics who conducted
the discussion.
Another Substitute fob Jute.
Capt. J. A. Peterkin, a large
cotton planter who lives hear
Columbia; S) C., has solved the
problem that has been agitating
the cotton planters since the for
mation of tlie jute trust. He has
ordered extensive machinery for
the purpose of making wood bag
ging for cotton to take the place of
jute; The bagging can be made
of sweet gd.m, elm, or any swamp
wood, and will be of veneer, one-
eighth of an inch thick. When
this is used the cotton will be thor
oughly boxed, and not likely to
catch fire. The stuff can be taken
green from the log and will not
injure the cotton. He will be able
to Make 200,000 fee? a day, and
furnish it at 5 cents a yard. He
predicts that in a short time ev
erybody who owns a gin will be
able to rip out his own bagging" at
a small cost.—Exchange.
